Cryptology Museum and Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park is a Victorian residence that housed the headquarters of a team of cryptologists during World War II. They were responsible for breaking German ciphers, including the code of the famous Enigma. For the needs of the then staff around the villa, several barracks were built, which have survived to the present time. In some of them and in the residence itself there is a museum dedicated to the history of cryptology, its importance and the achievements of cryptologists.

The property also houses the headquarters of two other thematically related facilities: the National Museum of Computing and the RSGB National Radio Center. The National College of Cyber Security is also to be opened in 2018.

On July 17, 2011, "Polish Day at Bletchley Park" was organized. In the presence of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, a sculpture was unveiled in tribute to three Polish mathematicians: Marian Rejewski, Henry Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki. They had a significant impact on breaking the Enigma code.
